Hi all my name is Paul I am new to the group and not sure what help I want but thought I would try and reach out here to see if it can do anything for me.I have recently been diagnosed with melanoma on my neck It’s all been a bit of a world wind to be honest and I have had time to think about what’s happening / happened. In September of this year my barber noticed a mole ( black mole ) on the back on neck a long story short I went to my GP who looked at it and told me he was concerned and referred me to the local dermatologist at Salford Royal which I attended in November they told me it was Skin Cancer and it was melanoma and I urgently need to get it cut out in theatre which did. It came back after two weeks that it was staged 1B and i now needed to be referred to Christies hospital for further treatment. On the 6th of December I had had my Lymph nodes taken for biopsies and a further cut where my previous mole was removed. I came home and in lots of pain and infections in both areas. I now have to wait six weeks for the results it’s a nightmare. I can’t thank Macmillans and the staff at Salford Royal enough also the Chrities staff. I’m just currently recovering slowly at home. Thank you for reading any advice would be welcomed.
regards
Paul
